And…. We’re back!! After a two year (and some months) hiatus, the podcast is back. Sort of. In this episode, Ellie Collins and her husband Austin Collins share a life update on where they have been in the last two years and why the groups and basically everything else came to an abrupt stop. Ellie shares how she felt God was inviting her to lay down Hope Reclaimed and the internal wrestle that came as a result. In the middle of grieving her ministry and preparing for the birth of her second child, Ellie received the tragic news that her sister had died. Heartbroken and vulnerable, Ellie knew she needed to surrender and release expectations, desires and her own plan for the joy of a new life – in more ways than one! If you’re facing unmet expectations, an undesirable prompting from God, or experiencing grief, this podcast is for you! You’re not alone!   hopereclaimedministries.com Instagram // @hope_reclaimed
